The 46th edition of the EIMA international agricultural mechanics exhibition, is set to take place from 6 to 10 November at the Bologna Fair, featuring a new section for drone, agricultural robot, and advanced digital system demonstrations.

Organisers say they anticipate record attendance with around 1,500 exhibitors already booked, showcasing over 50,000 models of machines and equipment across 14 product sectors and 5 specialised areas.

EIMA International 2024 will also include over 150 conferences, workshops, and seminars to discuss agricultural trends and market influences, alongside the prestigious Technical Innovations competition-exhibition.

The REAL area (Robotics and Electronics for Agriculture Live) will be introduced for the first time at this edition, focusing on demonstrations of drones and agricultural robots.

Simona Rapastella, general director of FederUnacoma who organise the event, said, “Over the years, EIMA has established itself as one of the top events not only in the agro-mechanical sector but in the trade fair scene."

The show is divided into 14 product sectors (from tractors to tillage machinery, from harvesters to vehicles for treatments and systems for the mechanised management of livestock) and in 5 specialised areas, dedicated respectively to components, bioenergy, gardening, irrigation and advanced electronics.
